| Patrick Upson | Tahpatrick.upson@dfo-mpo.gc.ca | Question | Windows | 2.9.2 | Re: Looking for version update advice |
Thanks. I did eveuntaully find the change log and made the decision to upgrade the at-sea machines. So far the configuration file we update for each mission still works. I have a copy of the 2.9.2 installer that if something catostrophic happens I can remove the new version and take it back, but I don't think it'll be a problem. We archive logbooks at the end of a mission, but each mission basically starts from a fresh install like state anyway.

On the other hand you don't really need a new system if your old installation works fine and you don't need any of hte new features.

On one hand, I could leave things as they are and I'm sure it will just work, on the other hand, I hate seeing things get out of date to the point that something just stops working some day and there's no ability to get support for old software.
I'm already running elog 3.1.4 on my personal machine I use for configuration development and testing and it seems to work well. The config file is pretty simple and seems to work with 2.9.2 on the at-sea machines, but I don't want to run into any suprises if there ends up being a compatibility issue at sea.

I use linux elog, and if you upgrade to v3.x.x, it's difficult to go back to v2.9.x. This is because the log files get grouped in year sub directories at v3.x.x.
In 2.9.x, the logfiles are store as (made up example) /home/logfiles/yymmdda.log
In 3.x.x they are stored as /home/logfiles/2024/24mmdda.log /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log etc. I think I got the labelling of the subdirectories correct, Stefan will no doubt correct if I am wrong.
I assume the same is true for the Windows version as it would be weird for a split in the program by OS for something important but trivial to impliment for all OS.
It's a bore to sort that out if you have to revert to 2.9.x - I know, I've done it - but I don't recall any change in format in the individual yymmdda.log files with an early v3.x.x version I tried. There may be additions to the log files made in much more recent v3.1.x or so versions, but I guess you are ok with whatever they may be as you've checked the change log.

I ran a test (using Windows) and you're correct about the subfolder and file naming. I don't think that'll be an issue, but it's good to be aware of. If we end up having to revert to 2.9.2 for whatever reason, I think it sould still work fine if what logs we have are just copied up a directory (i.e /home/logfiles/2023/23mmdda.log ==> /home/logfiles/23mmdda.log)
The difference in the directory structure doesn't matter for my purposes.

We have observed the same issue. Did the CodeCogs api change?
Thanks for the help.

Hi!
I am not sure if this is a know issue: it seems that the equation editor does not work anymore. Is there any fix or alternative method to type latex formula in the log?
Thank you!

| Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | All | ELOG V3.1.5-fc6 | Re: choosing the default font ? |
Check elog/themes/default/elog.css and look for font-family.
If you just want the elog entries in monospaced font, you can swith to "plain" encoding at the bottom of the entry form. You can also make this a default (check the docu).

Dear All,
is there a way to choose the default "style" for the HTML encoding ? - I'd like to set it to "Typewriter" but couldn't find the corresponding option in the available docs/ sample config files...

You would have to access the raw elgo database files (which are pure ASCII files) and write some script which goes through all files and changes the URLs.

Dear All,
We have been using the ELOG for several years and had inserted hyper-links instead of whole files in order to save storage space. From this month our server is moved to a new location with a new address. Is there a way for me to retrospectivelly replace all addresses with the new server file pass?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Marta

TSL is not implemented in ELOG. Maybe I find time some day to do that, but if we have any volunteers in our community who could help me with that I would appreciate.

Hello,
I would like to notify by email as soon as an entry is created or modified.
I declared my SMTP which uses TLS security.
The following error message appears : Erreur d'envoi de mail via "smtp.xxxx.xxx.xxx.fr": 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first
Is there a solution ?
